The devil, besides being evil, is cynical. He had the audacity to offer the Creator what he claimed to have received, if Jesus would prostrate Himself and worship him. If the evil one had the audacity to make such a proposal to the Son of God, think about what he does to the people who seek his favor. To those who seek to improve their lives through evil forces, here is a friend's advice: abandon as soon as possible doctrines that kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10a).

It is inconceivable that the one who was once the guardian cherub would propose such wickedness to the Savior (Ezekiel 28:12,14). The devil is the greatest deceiver and has become the being who does not know what is good. Even the people who serve him live under his perversions, so the best thing to do is turn to Jesus. The Master said: Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  (Matthew 11.28). Only Christ gives relief!

Since my youth, I have been doing God's work on the front lines, facing all kinds of evil spirits, including those who call themselves gods and are worshiped as such. However, I have never seen any of them resist the power of the Name of Jesus. These beings of darkness bow before that Name and beg not to be tormented any longer, even though they torment people. They will go to the lake of fire! (Matthew 25:41).

Nothing is more precious than serving God in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). The Father seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and truth. The servants of the Lord will never receive from Him the order to do evil. On the contrary, they will do good to everyone, because they will dedicate themselves to expelling evil spirits and bringing peace to those oppressed by demons. With Jesus, life is abundant in every sense!

Christ commanded us to do good without distinction, which is why we cast out demons from the lives of so many people. Before the Name of Jesus, no evil spirit stands, but rather leaves in despair, because God is a Consuming Fire (Hebrews 12:29). Follow Jesus and see how much better it is to walk with Him. As a servant of the Nazarene, you will never be afraid, and your life will transform in such a beautiful way that you will live in peace and joy!

Everything that happened in the Old Testament is a precious lesson that we should never refuse and despise, for we strengthen ourselves in everything our siblings of the past did. The saved are special people who live on Earth to do good, respect others, and help those who need support to sanctify themselves. Do not trust those who wish to use you for evil, but believe in those who are pure to make your life a blessing.

Why not become a child of God, if He offers the same treatment to those who have been His children for a long time? The Lord is holiness, freedom, and love for those who draw near to Him. Therefore, do not delay your liberation. Make the best decision: surrender to Jesus! He will receive you with open arms, ready to take away from your life spiritual unworthiness, pain, or anything else that shames you (Luke 15:10). He is the Father we need.

In Christ, with love,
